The Last Tata Gravitas Spy Shots For The Year?

• Expected to feature a revised rear-end and a bulged roof for more headroom.
• Earlier cabin spy shots reveal an identical design to the Harrier with a 6-speed automatic gearbox setup.
• Likely to be powered by a BS6-compliant 2.0-litre engine from the Harrier with more power.
• Slated for a launch at Auto Expo 2020.

The long wait for the Tata Gravitas continues as the upcoming SUV was spied testing again ahead of its reveal in February 2020. While the test mule spied before sported equipment for emission testing, the prototype spied this time was devoid of it but continued to have a camo livery. It is expected to launch at the Auto Expo 2020 alongside other new Tata models. 

Since this is essentially a 7-seater Harrier, the Gravitas is based on the OmegaArc platform. The spy shots reveal a front-end that is nearly identical to the Harrier. Its tailgate, however, is expected to be different. It could also sport a bulge in the roof for more headroom.

The Gravitas was also spied inside, sporting an identical cabin to the Harrier. Spy shots also showed a Hyundai-sourced 6-speed automatic gearbox. Other bits include an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control, and a semi-digital instrument cluster.

Under the hood, the Gravitas will retain the 2.0-litre diesel engine from the Harrier, albeit BS6 compliant. It is likely to produce up to 170PS of power compared to 140PS in the Harrier. Also, expect the 6-speed manual to feature alongside the 6-speed automatic gearbox setup. 

The Gravitas is likely to be priced at a premium over the Harrier’s Rs 13 lakh to Rs 17.2 lakh price range. Once launched, it will take on the Mahindra XUV500 and the MG Hector among other mid-size SUVs in India.
